Sustainable development

Balancing economic, social and environmental considerations is central to how we operate. This approach builds trust and fosters mutually beneficial relationships. It also increases our access to land, human and financial resources.

Sustainable development principles are embedded in our business systems and processes for:

• Capital approval
• Project approval
• Acquisitions
• Divestments

Wherever we operate, our priority is the health and safety of our employees and the environment. We respect the laws and customs of our host countries and communities. We work with them to ensure benefits and opportunities are shared.

We contribute to sustainable development by:

• Optimising our use of resources
• Managing materials responsibly, including recycling and avoiding waste
• Strengthening the knowledge, skills and capacities of our operating communities

We strive to minimise the adverse effects of our activities and enhance every aspect of our performance.

Product stewardship

Good product stewardship ensures that our products are managed responsibly throughout their lifecycle. However, we cannot achieve this alone. We engage with key stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, regulators and communities. Together, we strive to deliver products that are manufactured, used and disposed of safely.
